So really, what do you expect them to do. Sure I welcome criticism, but over operations, not over the reason the war was started in the first place. One we can deal with, the other is history.
Given that the US had had to deal with daily insurgant attacks, tension amongst the major political parties and tension from back home, I'd say they are doing a pretty good job.
Like I said, if you ask the Iraqi people, the majority of them are happy with what they have. I really don't understand how you can say the US is not winning. Every day progress is made improving the infastructure, military and economic condition of Iraq. Many regions are in complete control of the Iraqi Military, something that do me is awesome.
I also notice you have not even read the original article that was posted. Either that or you ignore what is being said. The process will not being over in 2 years, or even 5. How long did it take the 13 colonies to form a Constitution after they broke away from Britain?
If anyone took the time to notice, the Iraqi "unity" government was sworn in today. A major step IMO.
